Nunez still wants to sell! Liverpool s current focus on signings is No. 9, and Isaac Ekitic is still considering

1: This afternoon, famous reporter David Ornstein wrote an article on the online media Athletics (TA), pointing out that Liverpool's current focus of signing is to find the top No. 9 position. Here is the content:

-Liverpool has been prioritizing building a top forward trident in recent seasons, with two strong players in each position to choose from. They have these players on the left (Dias and Garkepo) and right (Salah and Flynnon) positions, but there is currently no definite preferred player in the middle position. Chiesa is seen as a candidate for the position, but Naples and Saudi Riyadh Crescent have been paying attention to Nunez. Nunez's transfer is expected to move forward again soon.

-Liverpool's position is that Dias will not leave the team, so unless things change, their focus on signings will be on finding a top center. Sports Director Richard Hughes is currently prioritizing the matter.

-Early in the transfer window, Liverpool's top-level team promotion goals may include Isaac, Ekitic, Yorke, Osmaine and Pedro, and Nicholas Jackson is also a player Hughes is optimistic about when coaching at Bournemouth.

--If the Senegal international was not a Chelsea player, he might be a more realistic candidate as the club's World Cup champion has signed Pedro and Drapp to serve as strikers. Isaac and Ekitic remained their focus, but various factors need to be fully prepared for this interest to develop.

2: Then, Liverpool's team reporter Pierce added: Why does Liverpool need to sign a center?

Liverpool fans are still full of love for Nunez.

The Uruguayan striker has made several key contributions in Slot's journey to win the Premier League championship and has always devoted himself to the game with a sincere attitude.

However, his 47 appearances in various competitions in the 2024-25 season were disappointing. Nunez only started eight times in the Premier League, and Slot prefers Dias as the pseudo-9 because he believes the Colombian player is more suitable for his tactical system.

Nuñez's departure this summer seems inevitable after three ups and downs at Liverpool - both Saudi Arabia and Italian clubs have shown strong interest. But so far, no satisfactory offer has been made.

But if Liverpool can sell Nunes for £60 million, they should seize the opportunity and use the funds for lineup upgrades. In Slott's 4-2-3-1 formation, having Florian Werz as center is an option, but he may be more suitable for a slightly backward position (front midfielder).
